As disciples, we accept that all that we have comes from God (1 Chron. 29:14). Each of us is invited to live life with our eyes firmly fixed upon God. However, it’s so easy to be distracted by the appetites that stir within us, from greed to lust. Whilst our inner appetites, as the Church Fathers described them, easily motivate us, it is God’s Spirit who can mobilise us to live at peace with God, ourselves and our neighbours.
